I like the name and have been thinking about it for my baby boy. We live on the west side of our city so it's kind of applicable. I like that it sounds trendy but edgy enough that he's unlikely to share it with others in his class.

I like the name. My middle name is Weston and I was named after my uncle. I go by the nickname "Wes." I was always told it meant "Man from the west." "West Town" as specified here, actually makes more sense.
Weston. Absolutely love it. It has a laid back cowboy feel - long open plains, red rocked mountains, tumbleweeds - while at the same time feeling dignified and strong and even artsy (Edward Weston might be to blame for this vibe). A big bonus is you arrive at the nickname Wes without having to use Wesley. We named our 2nd boy Weston. His older brother is Lennox. The last name for a first name thing is alive and well in our brood.
It's been used sporadically throughout history, so at least it's a historic name that ages well. I like it, although I'd never name my kid Weston. It sounds like a last name or the hotel.
